JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (JKS - Free Report) recently unveiled its second-generation Tiger Neo solar panel family. The upgraded version, which the company claims to be the world's most efficient and powerful solar panel, will be available in three series — 445 watt-peak (Wp) for 54-cell, 615 Wp for 72-cell and 635 Wp for 78-cell. These variants will have module efficiency of up to 22.27%, 23.23% and 22.72%, respectively.

Such enhancements to its already impressive product lineup are likely to boost the demand for JKS’ solar panels.

JinkoSolar’s Growth Prospects

JinkoSolar is one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world. The strong demand for its products can be gauged by its total shipments in the third quarter of 10.9 gigawatts. Of these, approximately 95% were module shipments, which doubled year over year due to strong global demand.

Going forward, per the report from Fortune Business Insights, the global solar market is projected to witness a CAGR of 6.9% over the 2022-2029 period. This entails strong demand for solar and related products. This is likely to benefit solar companies like Jinko Solar, which enjoy a diversified global customer base.

In such a scenario, the recent introduction of the upgraded version of its Tiger Neo solar panels, which ensures technical innovations and improved reliability, may provide a leading edge to the company in the solar world. This can bolster JKS’ prospects for increased demand.

With that being said, backed by strong demand, the company expects the shipment proportion for Tiger Neo to be about 60% of its total shipment in 2023.
